		Corbulo was born in Italy, in a senatorial family.

		After Caligula's assassination, Corbulo's career went into a halt until, in 47, emperor Claudius makes him commander of the Germania Inferior armies, with base camp in modern Cologne.
		Nevertheless, Corbulo's military actions were instrumental for the resolution and the general became revered as an hero by his legions.
		Corbulo was another victim of this environment of terror.

		In 54, shortly after the accession of Nero, Corbulo was entrusted with the supreme command against the Parthians, whose king, Vologeses, had invaded Armenia and expelled its king, Rhadamistus, who was under the protection of the Romans.
		Corbulo took the towns of Artaxata and Tigrano-certa, and secured the throne to Tigranes, to whom Nero had given the kingdom of Armenia.
		Corbulo was one of the greatest generals of the time, and amid the universal hatred which Nero had drawn upon himself, Corbulo remained faith ful to him.

	Cnaeus Domitius Corbulo (2)
		However this may be, in 52/53, Corbulo was governor of Asia, a wealthy province in western Turkey.
		When Vologases was approaching, Corbulo sent an envoy, and a truce was concluded: the Parthians were to terminate the siege of Tigranocerta, and the Romans were to evacuate Armenia.
		Corbulo did what he was ordered to do, and later generations considered him as another innocent victim of Nero's regime.

	Cnaeus Domitius Corbulo (1)
		Cnaeus Domitius Corbulo was born in Peltuinum, a small town in the eastern Apennines (modern S. Paolo di Peltuino), as the first-born son of a senator with the same name, and a woman named Vistilia.
		Corbulo must already have given proof of considerable qualities as an army commander, because otherwise he would never have received the command of about one seventh of the Roman army.
		However this may be, it is certain that Corbulo used the Rhine fleet (and the legions V Alaudae and XV Primigenia?) to attack the Chauci.

		CORBULO, GNAEUS DOMITIUS (1st century A.D.), Roman general, was the half-brother of Caesonia, one of the wives of the emperor Caligula.
		In the reign of Tiberius he held the office of praetor, and was appointed to the superintendence of the roads and bridges.
		In order to provide employment for his soldiers, Corbulo made them cut a canal from the Mosa (Meuse) to the northern branch of the Rhine, which still forms one of the chief drains between Leiden and Sluys, and before the introduction of railways was the ordinary traffic road between Leiden and Rotterdam.

		When Corbulo had heard all this from messengers he could trust, he sent two legions under Verulanus Severus and Vettius Bolanus to the support of Tigranes, with secret instructions that they were to conduct all their operations with deliberation rather than despatch, as he would prefer to sustain rather than to make war.
		Corbulo, however, notwithstanding his successes thought he must use his good fortune with moderation, and sent Vologeses a message of remonstrance against the violence done to a Roman province, and the blockade of an allied and friendly king and of Roman cohorts.
		Corbulo meantime transferred to Syria the fourth and twelfth legions, which, from the loss of their bravest men and the panic of the remainder, seemed quite unfit for battle, and led thence into Armenia the third and sixth legions, troops in thorough efficiency, and trained by frequent and successful service.

		Corbulo went flying smacking his back on the windshield and he was hanging upside down and hit the top on the top of his head hurting his neck and he flipped again and landed in the wood cage of the back of the truck and lay there in the hay.
		Corbulo looked around for him but he was nowhere to be seen and then he was suddenly smacked across the face with the pitchfork and he went flying but not as fast as he would on the surface because of course they are underwater and all.
		Corbulo grabbed a towel and threw it to Molok and he wiped the blood and all that from his eyes then when he could see again he tended to his head wound and was now all set again as he stood beside Corbulo.

	Character Background: Corbulus
		It was thus that Dr. Corbulo became one of Dr. Vazhilok's first victims, and one of the few to live through the ordeal.
		After Vahzilok's facility was raided at the last minute by a group of heroes, Corbulo was taken to a private hospital in Paragon where he spent 4 weeks in intensive care while a team of doctors tried to chart the extent of experimentation that had been performed on him.
		Corbulo left the hospital on the two feet of his creation and immediately began his search for Vahzilok.

	Nero's Temple of Janus Coins
		The coins of Nero bearing the temple of Janus reverse motif are generally accepted to refer to the peace following cessation of Corbulo's campaigns against the Parthians and the installation of Tiridates, Parthian nominee for the throne, as King of Armenia.
		Corbulo is said to have muttered "So much for loyalty".
		And I am reminded of Corbulo's daughter, who survived to later carry her father's blood into the imperial palace and the imperial family...

	Nero
		On the frontiers, thanks chiefly to Corbulo's energy and skill, no disaster occurred serious enough to shake the general confidence, and even the murder of Britannicus seems to have been accepted as a necessary measure of self-defence.
		Armenia was rescued and Corbulo proposed that Tiridates should become king of Armenia on condition of his receiving his crown as a gift from Nero.
		The stories of his mock marriage with Sporus, his execution of wealthy Greeks for the sake of their money, and his wholesale plundering of the temples were evidently part of the accepted tradition about him in the time of Suetonius, and are at least credible.

		Corbulo, the while, sat down upon the banks of the Euphrates, a station which he had never neglected; he now particularly multiplied the guards which defended it.
		Corbulo was no wise daunted, and, leaving part of his forces in Syria to maintain the posts which he had fortified upon the Euphrates; began the shortest route, where no hazard was incurred of lacking provisions; first through Comagena, then through Cappadocia, and thence into Armenia.
		Moreover, all the fortifications raised by Corbulo on the other side Euphrates, were demolished, and by both the King and Corbulo the Armenians were left to their own disposal and controulment.

		Corbulo cum suis copiis apud ripam Euphratis obvius non eam speciem insignium et armorum praetulit, ut diversitatem exprobraret: maesti manipuli ac vicem commilitonum miserantes ne lacrimis quidem temperare; vix prae fletu usurpata consalutatio.

		Emperor Nero ordered to Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, the new legatus of Cappadocia, to manage the matter, and Corbulo brought the IV Scythica from Moesia, and with III Gallica and VI Ferrata defeated the Parthians, restoring Tigranes on Armenian throne.
		Removed from the war theatre, they did not participate in the successful campaign of Corbulo.
		In 66, after a Zealot revolt had destroyed the Roman garrison in Jerusalem, the XII Fulminata, with vexillationes of IV Scythica and VI Ferrata, was sent to retaliate, but it was sent back by Gaius Cestius Gallus, legatus of Syria, when he saw that the legion was weak.

		The young man was serving then under Corbulo against the Parthians, and at the close of the war had returned to the city.
		Petronius had for him a certain weakness bordering on attachment, for Marcus was beautiful and athletic, a young man who knew how to preserve a certain aesthetic measure in his profligacy; this, Petronius prized above everything.
		This was a marvellous contrast in the character of a man noted for effeminacy and love of luxury; hence he was fond of mentioning those times, as they were a proof of what he had been, and of what he might have become had it pleased him.
